Radical Constructivism in the Context of Modern Subject-Object Relations


(Makhachkala)

The article considers peculiarities of modern subject-object relation son the basis of radical constructivism and their key question – the problem of verity. It reveals that the vector of a new defi nition of subjectivity through epistemology of radical constructivism is risky for false subject-object relations picture, due to the loss of differences between real and virtual reality, limitation of postmodern tendencies to stop the gap between the reality and the world of simulacris.
Our vision of peculiarities of subjective nature of cognition and aman’s subjectivity from the point of view of subjective and objective dialectics in the verity as well as their criteria, suggests the reasoning of introducing the term “criteria of mistaking”
into epistemology. As we see the problem, radical constructivism uses just on criteria of versions of mistaking, though it rejects the problem of grounds of cognition. Moreover, it is clear that radical constructivism stands for general line
of modern social epistemologies, it revealed the vector of postmodernist culture as a tendency for cognition to alter into pure game with its constant and changing simulacris – rules, ideas, signs, refl ecting the reality in a distorted way,
without any connection with it, and even hiding the reality, sometimes. However, a total transformation of epistemology and cognition into the symbolic does not deprive it from its cognitive contents, if taken not within the frame of correspondence theory, but as a constructivist or symbolic cognitive model, which correlates with a new historical type of cognitive culture called postmodernist.
